Audi Q6 e-tron Performance: Efficiency Redefined
Audi introduces the Q6 e-tron Performance variant worldwide, prioritizing efficiency over raw speed. Despite its slightly less powerful 326 PS electric motor, this entry-level model promises commendable acceleration and an extended range, enhancing its appeal and versatility in the SUV market.
Power and Performance:
Powered by a 100 kWh battery pack and an 800-volt architecture supported by the Premium Platform Electric (PPE) framework, the Q6 e-tron Performance variant delivers power exclusively to the rear wheels. With its single electric motor, it achieves a modest acceleration of 0-100 kmph in 6.6 seconds, offering a WLTP-claimed range of up to 641 km. Its fast-charging capabilities of up to 270 kW enable rapid recharging, making it ideal for longer journeys.
Design and Interior:
In terms of design and interior features, the entry-level variant closely resembles the standard Quattro model, ensuring consistency across the Q6 e-tron series.
Global Availability:
Global bookings are now open for the Q6 e-tron variants, with deliveries of the Quattro variants starting in August 2024 and the Performance variants scheduled for the third quarter of the same year. Anticipated to launch in India by late 2024 or early 2025, the Q6 e-tron Performance will compete with the BMW iX and Volvo EX90, positioned below the Q8 e-tron in Audi’s electric vehicle lineup.
